After graduating in 1948, he was an aspirant at the Chair of Vibration Physics , whereupon he became a candidate for science and lecturer in 1952 . With his studies on vibration physics, he belonged to the third generation of the vibration physics school of LI Mandelstam and ND Papaleksi . In 1959 he became a year studying in the USA at the Stanford University sent. In 1962 he received his doctorate in science .

In 1962, Chowlow, together with SA Achmonow, organized the first laboratory for non-linear optics in the Soviet Union at Lomonosov University . He has now become one of the leading scientists in the field of nonlinear optics, radiation physics , acoustics and laser physics . In 1966 he became a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR , in 1974 a professor and full member of the Academy, in 1975 a member of the Presidium and in 1977 Vice President. Well-known students of Khokhlov are OW Rudenko and AP Suchorukow .

1973 to 1977 Chochlow was rector of Lomonosov University. He promoted interdisciplinary research including questions of ecology with the interaction between humans and the biosphere . To this end, he signed a contract for the exchange of science between Lomonosov University and universities in Japan and the USA. Accordingly, Lomonosov University was also involved in the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline . In 1975 the cosmonauts and astronauts of the Apollo Soyuz Test Project were accepted. In 1975 Chochlow became Vice President of the International Association of Universities .
